This is the cover of Beck's Midnite Vultures album, which contains some of my favorite album artwork. It's also the album that made me decide i wanted to do music related design like posters, album artwork, band logos or whatever else musicians need. There's a lot of energy and tension between each figure on the front. I think the most notable source of this tension is the correspondence between each figures pants. The close proximity also increases the tension as does the zig zagged line going from crotch to crotch between the two figures.
scale, repetition, framing also play a role.
